YEREVAN. – The Health Ministry of Armenia confirmed that a pregnant woman has died in the country as a result of the H1N1 virus (swine flu), Haykakan Zhamanak daily reports.

“A 42-year-old man’s death by the same virus is confirmed, too. The Ministry states that in the case of applying for medical assistance on time, the disease occurs lightly, [and] it is treated quickly, without complications.   

But in the case of applying [for medical assistance] late, the likelihood of occurrence of complications is greater. In this context, chronic patients are considered to be the [most] susceptible groups,” Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
